City Council Minutes
May 12, 1986
Mr. Carl Robertson, representing the applicant, 1299 Ocean Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Monica,
reported that he had reviewed with staff the cost difference between the full and half berm
and had determined that the half berm would cost $175,000 more than the full berm. Under
these circumstances he felt the cash payment for the bike trail was unjustified, and he
pointed out that there is no benefit to Warland to go with the half berm. Mr. Robertson
urged the Council to do something positive and constructive for the City as a whole and he
described an alternate proposal by Warland to underwrite a public relations project to
promote the Cypress Business Park. He proposed that a committee of City staff and
applicant representatives be established and direct the work of a public relations
consultant. The consultant, Jeri Turpin & Company, would prepare a first class promotional
brochure for the Business Park and perform other duties as directed. He stated that Warland
would pay the consultant fees and cost of the brochure up to $15,000.00. Mr. Robertson
reported on potential users of the property. He stated that during the past nine months they
have marketed it for use by two large retailers; one would be a wholesale grocery store and
the other a competitor of the Price Club. The site would also contain about 12 in -line shops
and a restaurant similar to Reubens. Mr. Robertson stated they are in negotiations with
users for the 100,000 and 50,000 square foot spaces and have restaurant proposals under
consideration. He stated their number one interest is seeking retail business.
Councilman Partin indicated that the south end of Cypress has no City facilities and that he
was interested in gaining something for that area. He stated the bike trail sets it apart and
is used a lot by the residents. He indicated he would like to upgrade the deteriorated
condition of the trail. Councilman Partin indicated he fully supported the half berm design
and appreciated Warland's offer of the brochure but that he was disappointed with their
decision on the bike trail.
Mr. Robertson stated it was an unfair burden for Warland to pick up the tab on the bike trail
which is not on their property and he felt the responsibility should be shared throughout the
Business Park in an equitable fashion.
Mayor Lacayo asked if anyone else wished to speak in support or in opposition to Parcel Map
#85 -321. There were no other speakers.
Councilman Partin requested that staff show the video tape of the Stanton channel bike
trail. Mr. Barrett showed the tape which highlighted problems of hreaks in the chainlink
fence, sections of fence missing, asphalt broken down on the bike path, graffiti on the
channel walls and trash and debris in the channel.
The Council discussed the condition requiring improvement to the bike trail by the applicant
and expressed a consensus that the applicant should not be solely responsible and that other
funding sources to improve the trail should be found.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Kanel to close the hearing
and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Parcel Map #85 -321 subject
to the conditions recommended by staff, with the deletion of Condition #9:
RESOLUTION NO. 3084

Hearing no objections, the Mayor continued this item to the May 27 meeting.
In regard to added Item #27 concerning the tank farm, Mayor Lacayo stated he had requested
the City Manager to arrange a meeting with the operator of the tank farm and the real
estate company which is trying to sell the property. Councilman Kanel stated the odor was
actually diesel fuel which had been moved through the lines from the Long Reach area to the
Cypress tanks. He reported that he spoke with Mr. Roethel, the local Fire Chief, and Mr.
Reynolds of the AQMD to get additional information on the tank farm. According to Mr.
Reynolds, the fuel was moved through the lines too quickly causing a build -up in the tanks
and the pressure valves gave and released the huild -up. Mr. Reynolds provided an extensive
background of the tank farm and indicated that quarterly inspections are made and he is
familiar with the contents of each tank. Councilman Kanel reported that the local Fire
Department has no knowledge of the contents and would be unable to shut off valves. He
stated Texaco does not maintain all-night personnel on the property. He reported that he
spoke with a retired Fire Captain from Long Reach who indicated that Long Reach is
informed about their tanks and has a cooperative effort with oil refineries, tank farms, etc.
which includes meeting with them twice a year and conducting exercises. Councilman Kanel
recommended that staff be directed to investigate the items of concern, seek more
cooperation from the oil company, and determine how the Fire Department can become
better involved to respond to any emergency that might arise at the tank farm.
In response to Councilman Mullen, Mr. Essex reported that the City's Toxic Waste Ordinance
does apply to the tank farm and it will be implemented by the County Fire Department.
Battalion Chief Jerry Logan reported that, under the Hazardous Materials Disclosure Act,
the Fire Department will receive more frequent reports on the tank farm production. He
stated they have a record of calls about tank farm odors dating from July 1985 but many
times they cannot verify that the tank farm is responsible since other possible sources must
be checked. He stated their records indicate that no product has leaked on the ground.
Chief Logan stated that an April 17 report from the AOMD indicated that they had identified
the problem, it was corrected, and odors should not emanate any longer. Chief Logan stated
the Fire Department forwards their concerns to AMID for follow -up action. He offered to
investigate and report back to the Council on the Fire Department becoming more
knowledgable about the tank farm in order to respond to possible emergencies, whether any
deficiencies exist there, and on the vapor recovery system.

City Council Minutes
May 12, 1986
Mr. Herman Roethel stated that in addition to the odors he was concerned about the
potential fire hazard. He stated the Fire Department would not know what to do and the
homes are only 20 -30 feet away.
Mayor Lacayo introduced Mr. Terry Kerr, area manager for the Southern California Edison
Company. Mr. Kerr offered to investigate the tank farm problems and report to the Council.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel, seconded by Councilman Mullen and unanimously carried

In regard to added item #28, Councilman Kane] distributed a report and reviewed a timetable
on the processing of the Pomeroy motel application, comparing it to the other motel
application which was approved by the Council. Councilman Kanel asked if there was a way
for the Council to consider the application again, without waiting for the 45 day moratorium
to expire, to enable the applicant to move his property and not be caught in a hardship
situation.
Mayor Lacayo urged the Council to address the issue of the current moratorium and whether
they want to lift it and not discuss the timing or merits of the specific application. He
suggested that if the Council wishes to lift the moratorium they hold a public hearing to get
input on whether the residents want a moratorium or more motels built. Councilman Mullen
indicated that he had not anticipated the extensions to the moratorium and had expected
completion of staff's study in 45 days. He stated he did not expect a hardship to fall on one
development and indicated he was willing to consider lifting the moratorium. Councilman
Partin inquired about the status of the study and the Planning Director reported that it had
not moved ahead since the last meeting. Mr. Essex estimated that the Council should receive
the report by mid - September. Councilman Partin stated he would like to have information on
whether the City needs more motels and for that reason he supported the moratorium.
Councilman Coronado stated he would like to make a non - emotional and intelligent decision
regarding the long -term effects of building motels on Lincoln. He said he must consider what
is best for the City and that he wanted to wait for the study and for the moratorium to end.
The City Attorney advised that repealing the moratorium could he accomplished either by
adopting a regular ordinance or an urgency ordinance. A regular ordinance with a first and
second reading and enactment 30 days later would extend past the current moratorium
period. An urgency ordinance would require recitals explaining why the moratorium is an
immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare. He stated that adopting the
urgency ordinance could affect the Council's future ability to establish a similar moratorium
if they wished to do so. Councilman Mullen stated he could not support an urgency ordinance
to repeal the moratorium.
It was moved by Mayor Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Coronado to receive and file the
request to consider the subject motel application. The motion carried by the following roll

should be controls over motel development on Lincoln.

45 day moratorium. Staff reported that the current moratorium will expire on June 9.
